As a Process Engineer, you’ll work directly with manufacturing, quality, and product engineering teams to improve process capability, reduce variation, and strengthen the performance and reliability of our products. This is a key technical role within the facility where we produce high integrity components for demanding applications – including medical device, aerospace, and various other industries.

This position is ideal for a mechanical or manufacturing engineer early in their career who enjoys solving complex manufacturing problems, working on the shop floor, and driving measurable improvements.

Responsibilities:

Own and improve process control across key foundry operations (wax, shell building, casting, heat treat, finishing, and inspection).
Develop and implement improved control methods such as automation, sensor systems, poke-yoke, SPC, and other error-proofing strategies.
Reduce process variation and improve yield through structured problem-solving and statistical methods.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance quality, repeatability, and cycle time.
Investigate production issues using Why-Why, fishbone diagrams, and other structured problem-solving tools.
Design and execute process trials, evaluate results statistically, and recommend next steps based on data.
Support internal and external corrective actions and preventative actions.
Participate in PFMEA development with cross-functional teams.
Develop and refine raw material specifications (wax, ceramics, alloys) based on process needs.
Research, evaluate, and implement new equipment, inspection technologies, and manufacturing techniques.
Support Product Engineering during new product introductions, ensuring robust process control for new designs.
Define and update standard operating procedures, work instructions, and process documentation.
Support IQ/OQ/PQ validations for new equipment, materials, and process changes.

About You:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering; Mechanical Engineering preferred.
1–5 years of experience in a technical role within a manufacturing environment.
Demonstrated problem-solving skills and a strong mechanical/technical aptitude.
Familiarity with statistical tools and data analysis techniques.
CAD design experience (Solidworks preferred)
Simulation experience (FEA, CFD, or similar)
Experience with GD&T and measurement systems.
Strong teamwork, communication, and technical presentation skills.
Legally authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time basis.
Investment casting experience (preferred)
